Downtown Edmonton\u2019s restaurant scene continues to take hits, with DRTY Ice Cream becoming the latest business to announce it\u2019s closing its downtown location<\/p>\n
Founded in 2020<\/a> by Abby Ulanimo as a side hustle while working as an accountant, DRTY Ice Cream has built a following with its desserts inspired by Filipino sorbetes, a popular street food in the Philippines.<\/p>\n DRTY Ice Cream opened its downtown outpost inside Foosh in January<\/a>, but on Wednesday announced it would be shutting the location down.<\/p>\n In a post shared on social media, the business cited a combination of factors for the closure.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the crazy rain, it was hard enough to attract folks to make the trek across the river. But add in the heavy construction, random road closures, expensive parking, and little to no foot traffic \u2014 our little ice cream window didn\u2019t stand a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n The shop thanked customers who visited the downtown location, as well as Foosh for hosting the pop-up. It also confirmed that it will continue operating as usual from its Station Park location on Whyte Avenue.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though this was a short time, we still cherish every memory we\u2019ve had here.\u201d<\/p>\n The announcement is the latest in a growing list of downtown and adjacent restaurants and cafe closures in recent weeks. Wilfred\u2019s in the Brewery District<\/a> recently announced it would be closing, while B\u00fcndok\u00a0<\/a>revealed earlier this week<\/a> that it will also shutter.<\/p>\n Greta<\/a>, Kb&co<\/a>, and Rhubarb Caf\u00e9<\/a> have all announced closures recently as well.<\/p>\n Address:\u00a010150 104th St., Edmonton<\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n Still hungry?
